Android 4.4 KitKat is the new standard of Android OS, and is currently only released for Google Nexus devices. Like me, other Android Fans are very passionate for the new OS to be officially released for their specific android devices. Well, if you’re waiting for official, it can take up to 3 months or more to be officially released, but it does not mean, you can’t have Android 4.4 installed on your Android device. Thanks to many dedicated Android Developers that they released, Android 4.4 KitKat Custom ROMs for many Android Devices. Follow this step by step Custom ROM installation tutorial, to safely and sucessfully install the Android 4.4 KitKat on your Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 using the CM11 (CyanogenMod) custom build.

8. Finally wait for your device to completely flash the CM11 on your Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Once it gets completed then follow the same procedure and Install the GApps zip package which will ultimately installs the Google Apps on your tablet.

9. At last, When all steps are successully done, Using the Recovery Option, Reboot your Tablet and wait for it to Reboot normally. It may take some time more than it usually takes, but don’t worry, it is just normal.

There are a few more lines that I did not write down but it does say something about the assert not working. I tried to take out the assert but still get a status 7 error when installing. By the way I’m coming from a CM 10.2 20131213 nightly build.

Any advice would be great.

Does anybody has a solution?

I guess that you need to update your Custom Recovery and then try again using the same instructions.
